I don't see any compelling statement that what you're saying is true, all you have is "X is set at time Y," which, as noted, can be applied to works that aren't canon. What I'm saying is that talking about a greater canon is a waste of time since nobody has defined it clearly, save that Donte is not supposed to be the real Dante which most people worked out as soon as DmC was released.

Also you could equally argue that DMC 4 shows that Dante forgot how to do Stinger during his mission to Fortuna rather than just between games as usual. But it's pretty obvious he's not supposed to do that even though it's shown in the game. Same goes for the holes in his pockets that cause him to lose all those Orbs he keeps picking up.
